Devotion prioritizes one’s life and attracts that which is of assistance.Ā To be a servant of God is a dedication whereby the goal takes precedence over all other positionalities, attractions, or distractions.Ā By devotion and commitment, the pathway unfolds and revelation supplants presumptive cause-and-effect acquisition.
…All actions become recontexualized, and their spiritual essence begins to shine through appearances. Devotion also expresses as selfless service whereby peeling the potatoes is no longer a chore but an act of love because it has been sanctified by intention. Eventually all action is dedicated as an act of worship.
Devotion opens up vision, which replaces perception.Ā Only by the surrender that accompanies devotion does intended action reveal itself to be a spontaneous unfolding of the evolution of Creation itself.Ā Devotion to God replaces the ego’s devotion to its own self-interest, and one witnesses the effects or consequences of the overall field.
